You are welcome, dear Gavin. Received the pdf. It’s very technical, but obtainable for those that care to receive such information.
Hugs,
MarionI have signed up with Patient ACCESS and received notification from Rightslink that the pdf copy will be mailed to me (for personal use only) within the next 24 hours.
Here is a link to one of my previous postings re: ASCO Access to their journal:

So, it works. Try it.
Hugs,
MarionStudies are underway to determine the effectiveness of radiation in Cholangiocarcinoma. We should soon receive data derived from a clinical research study treating unresectable intrahepatic CCA treated with Gemcitabine and Cisplatin with added radiation treatment.
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02200042A retrospective study (evaluating response to a previously treated patient group) confirmed that larger tumors not eligible for surgical resection and combined with higher doses of radiation show equal response rates to those with surgical resection.
“Ablative Radiotherapy Doses Lead to a Substantial Prolongation of Survival in Patients With Inoperable Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: A Retrospective Dose Response Analysis”Due to Journal of Clinical Oncology proprietary rights, I am unable to post neither the link to the abstract nor am I able to download the publication on this site.
However; anyone can sign up with PATIENT ACCESS and request the information with this link:
